Election Day: Contested Clark County Races
Tuesday, April 1st, 2014 -- 8:23 AM
-It?s Election Day here in Clark County.There are many positions up for vote this time around including board of supervisors, city councilmen, mayors and school board positions. But, many of the races are uncontested with one person seeking the seat or 2-3 seats available for 2 or 3 people, as is the case with many school board races.
However, that is not the case for some races around the county. For the Board of Supervisors, District 10, which includes Ward 2 of the Town and City of Colby, will have to choose between Bryce Luchterhand and Jeff Kolzow.

District 29, which includes Ward 1 in the Town of Levis, Ward 2 in the Town of Lynn, Town of Sherwood and Town of Washburn, will vote for either Norman Casey Wesenberg or Randy Sebesta.
